Wiring in a thermostat

[Rick Hudson]

How do I wire in a Sangamo Choice RSTAT1 mechanical thermostat with mains from a socket to a tubular heater fitted to provide frost protection? Do I have to fit a junction box as well?

 

[telectrix]

fit a FCU, then to timer, then out to heater.

 

[Adam W]

The easiest way to do that is to buy a tubular heater with a built-in thermostat, then fit a FCU next to the socket, or just plug the heater in.

For frost protection you may be better off fitting a frost stat

Whatever stat you wire in,perhaps mount the stat on a pattress and make connections in the back

Frost stat? What temperature does that model switch from,at the low end?
